(No, that is not Wesley's back... but it may as well be... read on....). Wesley was on a road trip, driving his girls about 300 miles from Atlanta to his mother's house in St. Simons Island, Georgia when his 9 y/o daughter called 911 (you can hear some of the call by clicking here).

The 9 y/o girl's voice trembled with fear as she spoke to emergency dispatch: "Hello, is this 911? The only person that's here is my dad and he's drunk. My dad is drunk. Help me, please! Help me!... I don't know where we're going. He's driving really fast. I don’t know where he is taking me, but I think he is going to get into a wreck... I am a kid and I think my dad is driving drunk, I know that my dad is drunk, and he is the only one driving, and I think that I am going to get into a wreck because he is the only one. I don't know where I am right now. Daddy, stop the friggin car! Stop the car. Pull over somewhere!" The girl was so terrified that the dispatcher had difficulty making out what she was saying at points during the seventeen (17) minute long (yup, 17 minutes) call.

The girl was unfamiliar with her surroundings so the emergency dispatcher tried to lock down the vehicles location:

Dispatcher: You don't see any businesses at all?

Child: Um, well, coming up there's Oglethorpe Elementary.

Dispatcher: Okay. She sees Oglethorpe Elementary.

Eventually the 9 y/o girl remembered her grandparents' address, and police officers swiftly turned up at her father's mother's home, where they found him to be "visibly intoxicated" and arrested him for DUI, Reckless Driving, Driving on a Suspended License and Child Endangerment (while DUI).

Memo to Wesley Bergner: Epic parenting FAIL! You couldn't wait until you got to grandma's house to get sauced? Seriously? Wtf? Your daughter told the dispatcher that she saw two bottles of alcohol in the car and that you manipulated a breathalyzer device in the car... again, wtf? I don't know if you have an alcohol problem or not but I am pretty comfortable going out on a limb and predicting that you have serious judgment issues. You are lucky that you did not injure or kill anyone, like maybe your daughters...

Memo to Wesley Bergner continued:

When it comes to the subject of drinking and driving, the best advice that you are ever going to hear is: "Don't do it! Get a DD (Designated Driver), not a DUI".

Be smart{er than Wesley Bergner}: Don't drink and drive, but, if you do, just say "NO{thing}", don't blow (in FL your 2nd subsequent refusal is a crime) and call me stat at 305-381-8686, 305-798-2220 or 1-888-SHARK-8-1.
